Hi, I finally got my Ketron replaced, (The first one fried during an update attempt).The company I bought it from updated the software and it sounds incredible.It took three months but I'm happy because it sounds sooo good.Not cheesy at all.I'm having a little trouble with some of my MIDI files. For example a tune called "King of the Lobby", Brecker Brothers.It's a quite dense arrangement with lots of tracks on that one. When I play it back I get sticking notes.Not always at the same spot, so it can't be the file itself. In Sonar the nte still rings even when i mute all tracks.I had it happen on other MIDI files as well. It happens when I play it in BIAB and in Sonar too.I'm guessing that it might have something to do with the note capacity of the SD 2 maxing out. Could that be the cause or might it me something else.Is there a way to avoid it?

It more likely has something to do with your OS and your MIDI interface driver or setup within the host programs, etc.
Something is interrupting the stream.
Hardware synths are very robust, they don't cause these sorts of problems.

I agree with Mac. A hardware synth like the Ketron will drop earlier-played notes in order to play the new ones if you reach its polyphony limit. I think you have a 128-note limit on the SD2 (check the manual). There could be some MIDI notes hidden in tracks. Sonar doesn't always show all MIDI data, even in Event List View. Or, you might have a MIDI loop in your system, where played notes are looping back and triggering new notes. Your MIDI file may have notes that have lost their "note-off" message, or on which the sustain is way too long. Again, Sonar won't alway show that info clearly. And, held or sticking notes may result if you cram too much data into your MIDI stream, in which case it may be your MIDI interface that is dropping the ball. Large amounts of CC data may also clog the stream. Break your system down into its smallest components. Run only the MIDI playback app and one troublesome file, and see if you can narrow down what's happening. MidiOx is a great tool for finding rogue MIDI data floating around your system. Theres' more, but this will get you started, I hope.

Just to reiterate:
Whatever the problem is, it is NOT a polyphony problem with the SD2.

I'm also in love with the Ketron SD2.
From time-to-time (it seems, when I'm auditioning styles for a new song), I've had the Ketron "go funky" on me. It skips notes. A reset of the Ketron and or reset of BIAB takes care of the problem. Fortunately, it has never happened on a gig.

That sounds like something in the puter, getting in the way of the MIDI stream, could be the MIDI interface device being on same IRQ or the like. For example, you are not likely to be using Network or Wireless Network on the gig...

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
